1 2018 British Columbia Building Code Public Review of Proposed Changes PROPOSED CHANGE: Asbestos CHANGE NUMBER: 2018-BCBC-03-Asbestos CODE REFERENCE: 2015 National Building Code Division B Various Articles DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT: It is proposed to remove all direct permissions in the British Columbia Building Code (BCBC) to asbestos containing products. PROBLEM/BACKGROUND: The BCBC is based substantially on the model National Building Code of Canada (NBC). The NBC is updated about every five years and British Columbia adopts most of the NBC requirements into the next edition of the BCBC. The 2018 BCBC will be based on the 2015 NBC with some changes specific to British Columbia. The proposed changes show variations from the model 2015 NBC. Though the 2012 BCBC contains some other references to asbestos containing products, some of these have been deleted from the 2015 NBC. For instance, the standard CAN/CGSB , Asbestos-Cement Drain Pipe, is no longer referenced in Table (formerly Table ) or Sentence (1) of the 2015 NBC. Hence, this deletion is not identified. Another instance is that Article of the 2015 NBC no longer lists asbestos millboard as acceptable protection above cooktops and that omission is not shown below. The code language provided is the proposed final code language that will appear in the 2018 BCBC. Comments submitted should focus on the changes noted. Changes from the 2012 BCBC to the 2015 NBC are not identified PROPOSED BRITISH COLUMBIA CODE LANGUAGE: (Deleted text / Added text): Duct Materials 1) Except as permitted by Sentences (2) to (5) and Article , all ducts, duct connectors, associated fittings and plenums used in air duct systems shall be constructed of steel, aluminum alloy, copper, clay, asbestos-cement or other noncombustible material Compliance with Applicable Standards 1 1) Except as provided in Sentence (2) and elsewhere in this Part, materials and components, and their installation, shall conform to the requirements of the applicable standards in Table where those materials or components are a) incorporated into environmental separators or assemblies exposed to the exterior, and b) installed to fulfill the requirements of this Part. (See Note A (1).) 1 Article was numbered in the 2012 BCBC.

Building and Safety Standards Branch, Province of British Columbia, Proposed Code Change Page 4 of 5

5 Appendix D - FIRE PERFORMANCE RATING D-4.3. MATERIALS CLASSIFIED AS NONCOMBUSTIBLE D Typical Examples Noncombustible materials include brick, ceramic tile, concrete made from Portland cement with noncombustible aggregate, asbestos cement, plaster made from gypsum with noncombustible aggregate, metals commonly used in buildings, glass, granite, sandstone, slate, limestone and marble. RATIONALE FOR CHANGE The BCBC currently contains several direct references to asbestos containing materials. Due to health concerns related to asbestos containing materials, all direct permissions for these are proposed to be removed from the BCBC. Airborne particulate asbestos from handling or disturbing asbestos-containing materials can cause adverse health effects. JUSTIFICATION/EXPLANATION: The proposed change does not expressly prohibit asbestos containing materials to be used, as there are some instances where asbestos containing materials could be accepted as an alternative solution to the code s prescriptive requirements. There are also cases where a product standard referenced by the code may permit the use of asbestos containing products. However, the proposed changes remove all direct references to asbestos containing products from the BCBC as acceptable solutions because of the potential risk to the health and safety of building occupants. Sentences (5) and (6) have been deleted entirely. Although these Sentences were formerly changed in the 2012 BCBC to refer to fibre-cement shingles, new information indicates that these requirements may not be appropriate for attachment of fibre-cement shingles.
